Overview: Before going to Agile practice and the author explains the similarities between the rocket launching and to kick-start an Agile project. Just like a rocket testing launch is done to test the entire system before the takeoff, similarly, the author gives a comparison on how to start a test project or a sprint in Agile software development to assess individual capabilities and support required to deliver the value. In this way, the roadmap to deliver a quality product becomes clearly visible.

The author explains:

  • How to lift up the team’s performance
  • Discover what is important in a list of backlogs
  • How to charter growth in individual performance through Agile
